Sarcoidosis – Symptoms & Causes

Skin Issues

Skin in different parts of the body can also be changed by sarcoidosis. In fact, this is the second most commonly affected part, right after the lungs. You might notice small patches, red bumps, tenderness, and rashes, especially in the upper areas. Sarcoidosis on the scalp would lead to patchy or diffuse loss of hair. These symptoms are more common in some ethnicities, such as European Americans and African Americans. Some lesions would occur, such as lupus, subcutaneous nodules, maculopapular eruption, and plaques. They would disappear gradually after a couple of weeks. Therefore, you might not need any treatment options. [2]
